How to Care for a Wig

  • Buy the proper accessories to care for your wig. These include a wig brush, wig comb, wig stand, wig shampoo and conditioner, and various wig styling products. These are usually available in a beauty supply store or a wig store.
  • Remove tangles with a wig brush and a spray wig conditioner.
  • Remove shine by applying baby powder to the wig, then shaking excess power loose.
  • Always comb or brush the wig starting at the ends, and not the roots.
  • Store the wig in a closed space, such as a closet, at room temperature and on a wig stand.
  • Use a hair spray formulated especially for wigs to style your wig.
  • To reduce the volume of your wig, spray it with cool water and brush with a wig brush.
  • Remember that it's best if you do not use any heat source (including a blow dryer, a curling iron or hot rollers) on a synthetic hair wig. You may use these items on a human-hair wig.
  • Wash your wig after every 12 to 15 wearings
